Exporting/Importing from a Development Environment to a Test Environment

When you export and import configurations between a development environment and a test environment, you can take a less rigorous approach than when you import configurations into a production environment.

  1. In the development environment, run Verify Configurations (cdverify) to ensure that the configurations you want to export are valid in the current environment.
  2. In the development environment, export the configurations you want to later import to the test environment. You can use the Export option within the Configuration Console in the development environment or run the Configuration Data Export utility.

    Administration Console > Configuration and Personalization > Configuration > Export Configurations

  3. If you use Configuration Console Actions > Export, copy the export file to the test environment.
  4. Import the file from the development environment. Run Configuration Data Import.

    Administration Console > Configuration and Personalization > Import Configurations and Personalizations
